Topics - z26

I've made this bot a while ago and its unfinished, but with me being busy + new rawbots coming eventually (will turn it obsolete probably) I think its better that I share it right away. If anyone wants the blueprint feel free to request it (it also contains a complicated vision system that probably impact the game's performance, but that is easy to remove)

Hi! I'm making this topic because I again forgot what are the pillars and big plates named and wanted to ask, but also because the working of map files in Rawbots isn't well documented so I'm setting myself (and others) a place to document that in the future. Right now, I don't have much to say, except from this (i'll have to format this better later)

Gravity of planets and cores varies in the shape of a parabola, at the center it = 0, it then increases in strength when going farther to the center until it reaches the apex where it equals 10 (the height of the apex is determined by the size attribute of the planet or core) then decreases to 0 at twice the distance than the apex. This can be abused to make planets with low surface gravity but high escape velocity Make a gravity less planet (actually a spherical mosaic of terrain hexagons) Then put at the center one or more cores of a larger gravity radius than the planet itself.

There exists a large version of the earth hexes called hex_earth that are 4 times the size of a normal hex. Sadly, only the earth type is available.

The gravity of the non-planet maps is provided by cores. They look like this.

The sides of the core can be individually toggled to glow. Glowing cores automatically spawn a hex above them that cannot be deleted.

The map files of rawbots are actually gzip compressed files, therefore you need to open them with a program like 7-zip first before editing them with a text editor.

To add a passcode, unzip the desired map/blueprint then open the file with a text editor. Add this to the desired part/code hex without the parentheses: (name)@(number) . passcode #0000the passcode must be a four digits number.
